Chipotle aioli is a zesty and creamy condiment that originated in Spain and has become popular in the culinary world.

Chefs and restaurants in regions like California, Texas, and Arizona have embraced this condiment, using it to enhance the flavors of tacos, burgers, sandwiches, and seafood dishes. One of the key elements of a great chipotle aioli is the balance of flavors. The smokiness of the chipotle peppers should complement the creaminess of the mayonnaise, while the garlic and other seasonings add depth and complexity.
